In Debian testing, a couple of choices are present:

 	ksh, and
 	pdksh

In examining our 'Debian testing' box, I see:

herrold at debian:~$ which ksh
/usr/bin/ksh
herrold at debian:~$ file /usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/ksh: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/usr.bin.


'alternatives' is a tool which Debian uses to clean up common 
path names shared bewteen pultiple packages [as here with ksh 
and pdksh].  In this case I know that I had installed 'pdksh', 
and so, would have installed it thus (as root):

 	apt-get install pdksh
